When 12 B&Efinance students enrolled in the inaugural Applied Investment Management course, they had
no idea it would take them to the floor of the New York Stock Exchange.

“Watching my students learn in this way and in this environment was emotional. All
of those years of teaching students about all of these concepts in a classroom
came to life before my eyes,” said Dr.
Naomi Boyd, finance chair and associate professor. “As we walked away from
the exchange, I was overtaken with pride for these incredible students. Three days
prior, six of them had ridden in a cab for the first time, and I had just witnessed
them holding their own on the floor of the NYSE.”
